Overview
-
Product nameHonokiol, anti-inflammatory and chemotherapeutic agent
-
DescriptionAnti-inflammatory and chemotherapeutic agent
-
Biological descriptionPotent scavenger of reactive oxygen species with antiangiogenic, antitumor and anti-inflammatory properties. Mechanisms of action include inhibition of ras signalling and activation of the mitochondrial transistion pore via cyclophilin D induction. Inhibits NF-κB signaling, upstream of VEGF. Blood-brain barrier permeable.

Handling
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.

Functional Studies - Honokiol (ab120647)MCF7 cells were incubated at 37°C for 6h with vehicle control (0 µM) and different concentrations of honokiol(ab120647). Increased expression of acetyl coenzyme A carboxylase (phospho S79)(ab31931) in MCF7 cells correlates with an increase in honokiol concentration, as described in literature.
Whole cell lysates were prepared with RIPA buffer (containing protease inhibitors and sodium orthovanadate), 10 µg of each were loaded on the gel and the WB was run under reducing conditions. After transfer the membrane was blocked for an hour using 5% BSA before being incubated with ab31931 at 1 µg/ml and ab8227 at 1 µg/ml overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to HRP (ab97051) at 1/10000 dilution and visualised using ECL development solution.
